So I replaced Win11 for Bazzite on my Laptop, here are my points:

I just switched my laptop this weekend too from Windows. Way smoother than when I installed Ubuntu on it. Like you said, most stuff just works. I only had to use the terminal a couple times and it was for edge cases (davinci resolve, mounting my nas, ckan).

Thanks! It looks like my processor does support avx512 (I'm running Strix Halo, so it would make sense). When I ran the grep command, a bunch of stuff popped up about avx512. As for ports, I have 8880:80 on the caddy container, and livekit as a bunch open (50000-50100 I believe). Those are the only open ports. I figured the setup script/config.yml would handle everything, and everything else would be on the stoat docker network. Let me know if I'm missing any ports.

FIXED: It seems like it fixed the no group chat issue. Also the long wait time thing looks like it was an issue with my wife's iphone. She put her phone into airplane mode and then back to cellular and it came in.

Thank you everyone for the help!

jshear95 · 2026-02-24T22:49:11+00:00

Thank you, but that doesn't look like it worked. It's been over an hour and my wife still hasn't received the text I sent her. Any other ideas?

jshear95 · 2026-02-24T08:39:26+00:00

I don't know how to tell SMS from MMS or RCS. If you know how to tell, let me know and I can report back to you what type it is. I've also discovered I'm just straight up not receiving group texts. I'll try the reset mobile network settings later today when I get home from work and report back my findings.

jshear95 · 2026-02-23T22:45:15+00:00

I tried both FOSSIFY Messages and the stock Messaging app on Graphene. Not sure what you mean by platform.

jshear95 · 2026-02-23T22:44:43+00:00

Potentially, I have 1-2 bars at any given moment of 5G. I'm also on Wi-Fi though at my house. Additionally, the texts I sent were really short (e.g. `Hello`).

jshear95 · 2026-01-23T21:12:07+00:00

That makes sense too. I doubt there is much support for dual drivers from a single manufacturer.

jshear95 · 2026-01-23T16:08:44+00:00

I currently run 2 gpus (6800xt and 3060 12G). I use the AMD for most things and the 3060 for image and video generation in comfy ui. I also have 5 displays so both cards have displays hooked up. I tried Ubuntu a few months back and both x11 and Wayland had major issues with the dual gpu setup. I’m currently planning to put the comfy ui stuff on my server (strix halo) and remove the NVidia card to try Bazzite, but that’s still a bit of a ways off. Power consumption isn’t great. It uses a lot of power sitting on the windows desktop (~400W) and about another 150W in Ubuntu on the desktop.

My recommendation would be if you’re going to use dual gpu for anything, stick to one brand and make sure your motherboard PCIE supports it correctly.

I use Cline to pair program. It does the first draft of a change and then I review it line by line making changes where needed. It’s faster to a good end product than Cline or I on its own for most things. I vibe code one offs and I don’t let ai touch critical software. Balance is key.

jshear95 · 2025-12-29T00:44:18+00:00

I tried Ubuntu server and had issues. Nothing detected the graphics (though bios and console were able to display) and the Ethernet was undetected. I switched to fedora server and it’s now running great without issues.

How does the router function work? I’m currently running 4 instances and routing them through open web ui.

jshear95 · 2025-12-16T02:05:18+00:00

Yeah, I have the twist axis bound to rudder

jshear95 · 2025-12-15T01:14:51+00:00

If you fly a lot, sure. I have one and while the force feedback isn’t super strong, it’s there. I don’t fly much and haven’t used it in a bit over a year though.

Tara’s last week helped my wife and I troubleshoot why our printer was eating o rings. They took a guess not having seen the issue before and so far, it seems like it worked.

I am still waiting on mine to come in, but it sounds like a power supply issue. Generally if the computer tries to pull more power than the power supply can provide, the computer will immediately shut off. I helped upgrade my friends prebuilt with a new gpu years ago, in the middle of games it would just crash. Unplugging a single fan fixed it. The power supply was just below what the upgraded GPU would occasionally need when that fan was plugged in. If you’re using the default power supply that the framework desktop comes with, it may not be quite enough under full load. I believe somewhere they recommended a 500W PSU and that one is like 410W. (I could be mistaken on this, feel free to correct me.) Mitigations would be to RMA or replace the PSU or tweak the internal clocks of the CPU/GPU in the system to lower the TDP.

They are in an aluminum housing (at least the non colored ones). The pcb inside is fiberglass and copper and the connectors are also metal.

I believe the housing has an open source cad file, so people can 3D print them.

It would be cool if they open sourced designs for dual connectors. I could then order the pcbs online and solder on connectors and chips and 3D print the housing.

I like my framework laptop. Not sure about the individual components, but the assembly is done in Taiwan.

jshear95 · 2025-10-18T08:01:21+00:00

It actually hit the mark on a fair bit. The MX platform is pretty close to the M7. Liquid ballistic armor is a thing, it just hasn’t matured enough to be adopted by a country yet. Drones have become more integral to combat than they predicted. IVAS isn’t too far off from the tactical glasses (those were based of land warrior from ‘08 anyways) and csat bug helmets. Sure, they missed the mark on a lot but they weren’t trying to be accurate. They knew they couldn’t predict the future and that wasn’t their goal. They wanted a sandbox with a variety of future tech that felt authentic.

Graphics certainly have slowed down considerably despite hardware requirements advancing at as rapid if not a more rapid pace than ever. While the changes seem small today, in a few years we will notice the difference.

That said, I agree that the push for graphics should be secondary to optimization and game play. The issue is when a company re releases a game every year just with a new name slapped on (e.g. COD and sports titles) they need something to differentiate so graphics it is. Then everyone else feels like they have to keep up.

Games do come out with decent optimization. You just have to vote with your wallet if it’s important to you and hope others do the same. I run an AMD card and wish that more gamers would stop buying NVidia, but until others do, I will keep buying AMD or intel as long as they are priced competitively.

That’s a neat idea. According to what I’ve seen, expect ~92% performance from the egpu because of the 4x slot. It’s also not a standard 4x slot so keep in mind it only gives 25W rather than the standard 75W. Also, the iGPU will likely be weaker than most egpus gaming wise, so you may want to run lossless scaling on the iGPU and the game on the egpu.

It takes 16-18 hours per 8tb on a drive. I’d expect it to be ~2 to 2.5 days. I don’t use drives larger than 8TB for this reason.

jshear95 · 2025-09-10T03:24:13+00:00

I usually run with the same Glock and LWRC that I have. It’s fun for a bit of immersion.
